Food was great Vibe was right our puppy was well treated

Amazing food, great ambience. Love the decor! Would highly recommend!

Great service, the staff is wonderful!

They had amazing food with vegan options and a dj over looking a pool, also with one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. 10/10

45 min wait even though we had reservations. Then our food started coming out … but after we ate the apps we didn’t get our main for another 30-40 mins.. everyone around us was getting their food. The waiter apologized and offered free dessert without us complaining but especially after the 45 min wait to get a table? Hard for parents who get a babysitter. Plus the $30 parking in the lot. Kind of a strange experience there. Food is phenomenal.. just maybe need to focus less on it being a party experience and more on feeding customers

The food and service here was absolutely amazing! I am shocked I didn't know of this place sooner. The wine selection was also so delicious. I highly highly recommend this place for a date night or just a great evening outing with friends.

Although I had reservations I was asked to wait 30 minutes for a table. I ended up drinking at the hotel bar until the table was ready. Wasn't happy about having to wait or asking my guest to wait.

We love the staff especially the hostess greeters

Awesome food and great staff.

A bit disappointing after reading the good reviews due to a couple of factors: 1) Parking - sign showed valet for dinner at Sparrow is $18/2 hours, but valet told us they were only valeting for overnight guests, so we had to pay $40 in the same lot to park ourselves. 2) Maitre d - not very friendly and a bit haughtily told me there's a 15 min wait to seat us despite us having a reservation. Also, there's nowhere to sit while waiting. 3) Noise - while I was looking forward to an open patio seating that opens to the pool, many pictures show a serene pool. This was not the case for us. It was loud and crowded. My husband commented he felt like we were in Vegas. If that's your scene, then you're all good. But we were kind of looking for a romantic dinner, so was not thrilled. 4) Food - we enjoyed the food but chef/team had a heavy hand in salt. Everything was salty. Great flavors, but was just too salty. 5) Seating - the restaurant was very empty when we arrived with mostly empty tables. We were squeezed between the only other two parties there to be seated in the small section for parties of 2's. Given COVID is still prevalent, I don't feel the restaurant did its best to social distance when possible. More importantly, even without COVID considerations, it just felt a bit ridiculous to be seated right next to the only other people there while the rest of the restaurant is empty. Now the good! Servers were great and friendly. The drinks and presentation of the food were stellar and very fun. I'd still recommend the restaurant and experience but just manage your expectations on the above 5 points.
